Park Bom is depressed.
She has everything a 31 years old woman ever dreamt of---beauty, health, wealth, good job, loyal friend, men falling head over shoes for her---but one,
that man.
How much is beauty worth if everytime she looks at the mirror, she wanted to kill herself?
How much is health worth if everytime she is thristy, she gulped a bottle of vodka?
How much is wealth worth if everytime she's in her Porsche, she thought about crashing herself to a 10-tons-truck?
How much is a good job worth if everytime she's in her office, she wanted to jump out of the window?
How much is a loyal friend worth if everytime she sees him, she could only see that man?
And all of the other men falling over her, why does she sees them as the same face?
The same smile,
the same eyes,
the same scent,
the same touch;
that man has.
That man,
who turned into a nightmare.
At least the loveable one,
the loveable nightmare.
For her.
Marcus Thorne wears several masks in his life-playing retired pirate, Captain Hawk, is his favorite, but if his secret is discovered, he could die. Captivated by his enemy's daughter, Marcus kidnaps her, but in turn, she captures his heart... until he discovers Isabelle is one of Napoleon's spies with the power to endanger his life and the lives of his friends.
After her release, Isabelle can't stop thinking about her masked abductor and how he'd stolen her heart before ridding her of his presence. Betrothed to a man who strangely reminds her of the man whose kisses set her ablaze, she marries him, only to discover he's not who he seemed to be and is withholding secrets. But then, so is she.
Content warning: This story contains a mild amount of violence and kidnapping... along with plenty of falling in love.
